LMC's Ramblings & Things

Quick request: if you are going to follow me, and you know me in real life, please let me know who you are!

I'm a British engineering student.

My main obsessions in life are Glee and guns, or at least were. I describe myself now as a recovering Glee-holic. I still adore the earlier episodes, but have almost entirely given up on the current series because it makes me yell things at the TV, which I feel is a bad thing.

I'm still a total gun-nut, though, competing regularly at national and international level, and usually doing pretty darn well into the bargain. I'm in the British ladies' team, and we will be going to the World Championships in Hungary this year.

Anything I post about my life is tagged with, "things from my life" - I'm a highly inventive person when it comes to naming things.

My main fandoms are Glee, Doctor Who, Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, but I also frequently post bits of British comedy, both past and present.

I do my best to avoid spoilers in all fandoms, although I will post set pictures if I feel they aren't spoilery. And I can't promise to avoid any SBL set pictures, even if they are spoilery.

Hardwick Hall

Situated on a hilltop between Chesterfield and Mansfield, overlooking the Derbyshire countryside. The house was designed for Bess of Hardwick, Countess of Shrewsburyand ancestress of the Dukes of Devonshire, by Robert Smythson in the late 16th century and remained in that family until it was handed over to HM Treasury in lieu of Estate Duty in 1956. The Treasury transferred the house to the National Trust in 1959. As it was a secondary residence of the Dukes of Devonshire, whose main country house, Chatsworth House, was in nearby Chatsworth, it was little altered over the centuries and indeed, from the early 19th century, its antique atmosphere was consciously preserved.
